The Aryan Molossus
Once a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector

Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration.

The Armant
The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give

To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special.

The Atlas Terrier
The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy

At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days.

Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie
It Is Impossible Not to Love Them

Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet.

Throughout your dog’s life you will need to turn to someone else to care for your dog many times. You have options to consider, you dog might need regular day care because you work long hours and can’t be home to walk or feed him, or you need long-term care because you are going on vacation or work out of town. Some pets do best in their own home with a pet sitter, others might do better in a boarding kennel. Consider your dog’s personality and temperament before making a permanent decision.

Many people, especially in urban areas, are turning to doggy day care centers. These organizations provide daytime kenneling and activities for “latchkey pups”. Some daycare centers provide kennel and activities facilities which include walks, socializing with other dogs, visits to dog parks and hikes. Day care providers often also serve as boarding kennels.

Boarding kennels are usually used for overnight stays, which can last one night to one month or longer. It’s important that you visit the kennel you’re considering before boarding your dog. A good kennel will welcome you and be happy to show off its facility and other amenities even without notice. Many veterinarians have kennels, where they board clients’ dogs. Many owners, especially those with medical problems feel most secure leaving their dogs there.

Other owners turn to private kennels, which range from sparse to elaborate. Upscale facilities may offer long walks, provide grooming and interactive playtime. A popular trend is doggy hotels, where dogs receive as much pampering as their owners do on their own vacations. These doggy hotels, boast luxury kennels with everything from raised beds to color tv and soundproofing, and even swimming pools.

Regardless of the boarding facility, the most important consideration is the safety and health of your dog. After ensuring these most important elements of dog care, details such as price and extra pampering can be worked out.
